Siemens and AWS to Make GenAI Accessible in Software Development

Siemens and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are deepening their collaboration to facilitate the development and expansion of generative artificial intelligence (AI) applications across diverse industries and company sizes. This enhanced partnership empowers domain experts in engineering, manufacturing, logistics, insurance, and banking to seamlessly create and enhance applications utilizing cutting-edge generative AI technology.

By integrating AWS's advanced generative AI capabilities, businesses can accelerate digital transformation efforts and address challenges associated with skilled labor shortages. This collaboration reflects a commitment to democratizing the application of AI, making it accessible for professionals across various sectors to harness the transformative potential of generative AI in their respective fields.

Siemens has unveiled a strategic integration, incorporating Amazon Bedrock into its Mendix low-code development platform. This transformative collaboration empowers customers to not only create but also enhance applications by leveraging the robust capabilities of generative AI. By tapping into Amazon Bedrock's advanced generative AI technologies, businesses gain a powerful tool to expedite digitalization initiatives and effectively navigate challenges associated with a scarcity of skilled labor. Siemens is seamlessly blending Amazon Bedrock's services, offering access to high-performing foundation models from leading AI companies through a unified API.

This integration also encompasses robust security, privacy, and responsible AI features. The amalgamation of Amazon Bedrock with Mendix, the flagship low-code platform within the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, signifies a concerted effort to provide users with a comprehensive solution that marries cutting-edge AI capabilities with the efficiency and simplicity of low-code development. This initiative underscores Siemens' commitment to fostering innovation and addressing the evolving needs of industries navigating the digital landscape.

Mendix, a low-code development organization, boasts a user base of 50 million and supports over 200,000 applications in various sectors, including industrial and finance, running on AWS.

“By integrating Amazon Bedrock into our low-code platform, we are democratizing generative AI technology and empowering everyone to create the applications customers need to become more competitive, resilient, and sustainable,” said Roland Busch, CEO of Siemens. “Making smarter applications without programming expertise accelerates innovation and helps companies to tackle skilled labor shortages.” 

“Together, AWS and Siemens are empowering companies worldwide to create new capabilities, solutions, and value with generative AI,” said Adam Selipsky, AWS CEO. “This partnership builds on our 10-year relationship with Siemens, giving customers across all industries the flexible, customizable, secure environment they need to take advantage of new opportunities with generative AI.”
